On Sept. 30, an Eagle woman called police to her apartment to report an attempted burglary.

The woman showed officers pry marks at her front door frame and damage to the skid plate area of the door. Police also found a wood shard on the inside of the apartment near the door.

The police report noted the resident was scared about the incident. She said she had gone to bed the previous night at 9 p.m. and she did not hear anyone trying to get inside. She left her apartment at 9 a.m. the next morning and didn't notice the damage at that time but she did have trouble locking the door. When she returned home at 4 p.m. she saw the marks on the door frame

When asked about possible suspects, the woman said a possible motive could be her prescription pain medication. She noted there had been two previous suspicious incidents at the complex and those residents also had prescription pain medication inside their apartments. She said about a week earlier she was experiencing medical issues and was outside waiting for a friend to take her to the hospital when a "creepy guy" asked if she needed help.

Police asked her to call the next time she saw the man or to get a license plate number so he could be identified. They photographed the door and frame and provided crime prevention information for the woman. A canvass of nearby apartments did not result in any new information about the attempted break-in.

A restaurant employee said some diners had reported seeing a man park a pickup along the street and then a short time later another man walked up to the passenger side of the truck and hit a window with an object. He then unlocked the vehicle, ran around to the driver's side and took off in the car.
